Good Luck everyone....I am copying this from the "chit chat" forum where I originally posted it just moments ago. I am putting it here for the benefit of the "good guys" that are smart enough not to bother with the "chit chat" bull. The guys I care about and respect. You know who you are.

Anyway, it has been an experience, and I will remember it well.

Max and Dotslasch, (and others)

Thanks for helping me realize how much time I have wasted here. I have obviously wasted my breath and learned not a single thing except that there are far too many uninformed instigators that have not a single thought to express or the ability to look at two sides of any issue.

I am embarrassed for the USA that we have so many like you. So many that look only to fight (with the bodies of others) and argue just for the sake of argument.

You have contributed nothing but ill will and nastiness. Name calling and childish behavior.

I came on ET with the hope of learning from others about trading. I contributed with good intent quite a bit of my time and energy trying to share what I thought was of value. I have received essentially nothing of value in return. I took a lot of criticism on the board for trying to be helpful. I also received many very kind and thankful private messages. But I have run out of time for any more. I think I said pretty much all I had to say that could be of benefit in a universal way.

So I wish you all well. The guys that actually trade, and even the guys that just lurk and make an occasional post. But it saddens me that there are just so many narrow minded and hate filled souls frequenting this board.

I used to look strictly at the "trading threads". I stopped when I realized how so many had "secrets" that they were afraid to share. At that point, I knew that there was no value for me in those threads. Then the "chit chat" threads became an interesting diversion. But no more. Too many fanatics. Too much cut and paste. No real content. Nothing but childishness.

It was fun for a while. Now it no longer holds any interest for me.

So Dotslash, I hope you get to see all the blood that will satisfy your needs. Max, I hope you feel great about yourself and have satisfied your every curiosity. Thunderbolt, I hope you get to heaven and are not too lonely in your very exclusive existence there. Traderfut2000 I hope that something in the world will make you happy. Aphie, I hope you get to trade. Gordon Gekko, I hope you learn to read and write soon. Publias, MrSub and the other "good guys" ... I wish you all well. I will miss your humor and your insights.

Peace,
Rs7

Sorry to see you leave RS7. I'm sure you'll be much more productive avoiding the "Demon of perpetual time wasting on forums." :)
 
rs7,

the choice is yours, but why are you letting just a few people ruin it for you? there will be negative people wherever you go. you should stay, dude.
 
There is no shortage of idiots on ET. RS7 is a good guy. I want him to stay. You wouldn't want to miss the first trade in my journal would you??

Don't leave. :( :( :(
 
Sorry to see you go rs7, appreciate you reprinting your post as I would have never seen it. Rarely make it to chit-chat, signal-to-noise hovers around zero, just don't have the time.

Best of trading to you, keep listening to the Great Music. :) :p :cool:
 
Just for the record...

I don't care about the criticism I have taken. This is irrelevant to me. I am just disappointed that I have come to see that so many here are not interested in anything other than argument and name calling. And maybe I am just too old to tolerate the closed-mindedness of certain fanatics, both religious and political. It is saddening to me to see how many there are. Bloodthirsty kids that don't know what war is about. Religious zealots that insist all who disagree with them are damned or stupid. They are a sorry bunch.

Bottom line is the experience has been one that has only depleted me of effort and thought. I tried to contribute what I know about trading. I believed my experience was worth sharing.

But here, everyone seems to have their "secrets".....like sharing an idea about trading a stock that trades 100mm shares a day is going to have an adverse effect on their bottom line! Utter nonsense!


It bothered me not at all to be told I knew nothing about what I was talking about. I have traded for a long time. Experience matters. I made money quite consistently for 14 years. I don't need to prove anything. This is just the wrong place for me.


I have essentially gained nothing but a few good laughs. But in the end, it has been detrimental to my trading due to the distraction, and most importantly, it has consumed too much valuable time when not trading.

My wife constantly is annoyed about me "talking to idiots". I would rather spend my time talking to her. I regret deeply the time I have taken from our lives and wasted here.

Maybe she and I just agree on too much, and it was more interesting to "debate" with strangers here. But it has gotten old. And so I choose to spend my time with those I love rather than those I don't even know.

Peace and good trading to all,
rs7
 
Many idiots post here.
Many comments/threads are useless.
Derogatory comments are senseless.
Actual trading secrets won't be revealed for free.

However, there are some truths...

Hope you are not blaming your trading mishaps on information you receive here. More importantly, never allow any threads/messages to affect your trading.
